As a follow-up and a "fwiw", I bought this:

I'm VERY happy. As you guys have mentioned, the receiver works on the dash, in the ash tray, on the lower console - it even got a signal here at work in my no-window cube.

It's going to replace my standard "GPS Mouse" that I use in the truck.


Thanks all for the babble.
